Hidden text

Hello. I am having problems with hidden text in docx files. If I have document with Heading 2 formatting and color text to blac I can't see it nor on iPhone 4 nor on iPad/iPad 2. Only blank space is shown where text is located. If I select area where text is and copy it into notes text appears. I can send example of document if needed. Anyone has solution?
Thank you.

Hi,
I have just installed SqlExpress 2008 r2. I created database, some tables and when i try to write any query in new query editor it does not show my text but the text really exists. I've spend 2 days for searching the issue online but get no help.
thanks
Not so sure why but it may be the case that text font color is set to white. Please press Ctrl + A and see if the queries are highlighted.
Please post screenshot if possible.
Cheers,

  • How can I correct "hidden" text in a searchable PDF file?

    This seems like a simple question. However, the answers are invariably complex, do not yield the desired result, and often answer a different question entirely. I say all that just to warn people up front that the "problem" is easier than how many people and PDF application developers, including Adobe, typically understand it while the proposed "solutions" are invariably a total...well, botch is a reasonable word if a bit understated.
    Here is the actual problem:
    I have "searchable" PDF files created by scanning documents and running them through an OCR process. I create "searchable" PDF files in order to archive, index, and eventually enable searching for the documents scanned. A "searchable" PDF satisfies those criteria better than any other commonly used, "portable" archive format -- though I would be happy if someone could point out an obvious alternative I may have overlooked. I do not need perfect OCR results. If I need a document to edit or perhaps feed into a spreadsheet or database, I expect to be able to reprocess the page images in a given "searchable" PDF file to OCR and convert the contents to Word, RTF, Excel, or another file format as necessary with more care for the results than for the archived document itself. Therefore, the "searchable" PDF document is the scanned page images which compose it while the OCR generated "searchable" text is secondary, but still important. Therefore, each file must contain scanned page images of sufficient detail to be efficiently converted by OCR if possible and legible enough for whoever views the images to be able to work out what an OCR process may fail to understand. Once scanned, those pages are the "document" and therefore "immutable." However, OCR is imperfect. For a searchable document archive, it does not have to be, but some errors are significant in that they may prevent the document from being found by a search. Therefore, there must be a way to view and, if necessary, edit the "hidden" text in a "searchable" PDF without altering the visual display of a document or how it is printed. No strike-throughs. No visible "corrections." None of the stuff PDF editors want to insert into a PDF file when editing it. I do not want to edit the document without exporting it to a format appropriate for an editable document. I just want adequately "correct" hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file.
    I apologize for the length and redundancy in my description of the problem. However, past attempts to explain my problem and objectives as well as what I have seen in reply to similar queries across the Internet indicate that most people trying to answer this question come at it from the same point of view shared by most, if not all, PDF tool or application vendors. They seem to think that any desire to edit a PDF file is a desire to have a PDF word processor of some sort. Or, they assume that the OCR process employed may need tweaking of the means by which people apply it and then a process like "find suspects" is adequate to deal with any errors. But no, those are not what I am trying to accomplish and answers which address those topics do not answer this question.
    In short, which tool or application from any vendor will reveal the "searchable" hidden text in a PDF produced by any OCR or other process and then enable corrections to the hidden text without changing any document display parameters at all? Note, hidden text typically includes bounding box information denoting the portion of the image from which the text was recognized. That information must not be lost or changed when editing the "searchable" text.
    So, any tools or applications capable of doing this? If Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can (use of a trial copy demonstrated that the hidden text content can be reviewed, but editing did not work by any straight-forward means I could work out while trying out the application), fine. However, $500.00 list or even a $200.00 possible upgrade from a copy of Adobe Acrobat X Standard which came with my scanner is a lot of money for personal use when review and edit of the OCR generated hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file is the only function I require. Therefore, other suggested tools or applications which do what I need for less would be greatly appreciated.

    My "claim"? Actually I've made no "claim" such as you've mentioned.
    Simply stated your OP has foundational premises that presume as factual what is not.
    Here, we're in Adobe's hosted user forum for Acrobat.
    Any other application use is not material. 
    Acrobat XI provides 3 OCR methods.
    Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact) & ClearScan.
    Only the first two provide the "hidden" text output.
    (Glyphs have no stroke, no fill)
    From back to the Acrobat 3 product family the design functionality of Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) has been to facilitate the use of Find / Search.
    The "hidden" text is can be touched up. Acrobat Pro provides the facility to view the hidden text.
    So you can see what the OCR output that correlates to the bit-map images of the characters that are present.  
    With Acrobat XI Pro use Tools - Protection -Remove Hidden Information
    In the Remove Hidden Information pane select "Hidden text" then "Show preview".
    The default for the preview is "Show Only Hidden Text".
    Back in the PDF --
    You'd select some of the hidden text and retype what you suspect is the correct string of characters.
    Save and return to the preview of the hidden text.
    If you got it right, good. Continue.
    If not, darn - try again.
    Plug 'n chug -- somewhere over the rainbow it'll be done eh.
    Full disclosure -- this is something I've done (enquiring minds don't you know).
    I've found it to be a rather Sisypean undertaking.
    So, "doable" but not practicable.
    This is to be expected because such touchups are not the concern / focus of the output from Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) - (the names tell it all).
    To have touchup "editablity" of an OCR output using Acrobat make use of ClearScan.
    ClearScan replaces recognized character bit-maps with a character from an Acrobat internal font.
    The character strings can be selected to change to a generic, system available font.
    Something that is good to know when embarking on the "tweak the PDF" journey is that PDF (the file format / technology as defined by its ISO Standard, ISO 32000-1) does not tolerate "editing". PDF is decidely not a word processor file format and "editing" can quickly render a PDF unusable.
    Minor touchups can be made and your best "tool" for this is still Acrobat Pro. (Save As often and periodically "bank" the PDF via some file rename scheme.) 
    Be well...

  • OCR and hidden text in PDF scans of historic documents

    I need to edit the hidden text behind a scanned PDF image of a document.  The image must remain as an “exact” copy of the original scanned document.
    I used Acrobat Pro (versions 7 and 9) to make PDF images of old typed documents from the 1940’s.  When I open those images and run OCR in version 9, then examine the hidden (invisible) text layer behind the image, there are errors.  For example, the word “book” has been picked-up by the OCR as the word “look.”  I need to change the “l” to a “b” in order to make the PDF accurate when it is searched at a later date. 
    I have checked many user forums.  Most people imply that hidden text can be viewed, but NOT edited in Acrobat Pro 7 and 9.  (Hidden text can be viewed in Version 9 by selecting “Document” “Examine Document” and then clicking on the “+” symbol next to “Hidden Text,” then clicking “Show preview.”)  Some say to use Adobe Capture 3.0 to edit hidden text.  Others say to use Photoshop or Illustrator to edit hidden text (I think these folks may have been confused, because Photoshop and Illustrator would be used, logically, to edit the image ON TOP OF the hidden text).  Yet another person seemed to say that a hidden text editor was added to Acrobat 8, but was taken away in Acrobat 9.  (I can’t verify that because I don’t have version 8.)
    The closest answer I was able to find involved using the Text Touch Up Tool on top of the image to edit hidden text behind it, but when you do that you are typing “blind.”  In other words, you highlight a spot on the image (top layer) where you THINK the error MIGHT be, and you type the correction without being able to see what you are typing over.  Then, you go back to the “Examine Document” procedure (described above) to see if you “hit” your mark, and if not, you redo it until you do “hit” your mark.  With the number of documents and corrections that we have, that procedure would be too labor intensive and thus a budget breaker.
    If we have to buy more software, my preference would be to buy a genuine Adobe product because I have experienced problems in the past switching back and forth between Adobe products and other PDF manipulation software.
    Can anyone answer any of these questions: 
    (1) Is there a way in Acrobat versions 7, 8 or 9 to edit hidden text, and if so, how? 
    (2) What Adobe software (other than Acrobat) will edit hidden text behind a PDF image? 
    (3) Assuming no Adobe product will edit hidden text behind a PDF image, is there any non-Adobe products that will do that?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Unless you use Acrobat 8 Pro's Formatted Text & Graphics" or Acrobat 9 Pro's ClearScan you will find that there is no
    practicable means of editing the OCR "hidden text" in a PDF.
    The TouchUp text tool (Advanced Editing toolbar) is reliant upon the selected text having an available system font to use during touchup. However, both Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact)  OCR output is of text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) that is provided from within Acrobat and not any installed system or other application installed font.
    With Searchable Image (Exact) you have the untouched image augmented by the invisible text which is provided as a user aid for search or find with Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The invisible text is not intended to support word processor like editing.
    To your questions:
    #1. There is no practicable way to edit invisible text (text rendering mode 3) with Acrobat (any past or current release).
    #2. None.
    #3. A good question. Perhaps a specialty program. Keep in mind, many products provide a promise but those those that actually deliver tend to be expensive.
    Something to play with. Using Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended, try the Preflight Fixup to embed hidden text.
    Then try using the TouchUp Text tool. You may also want to see if you can change the font type of this newly embedded font.
    (use copies of the "real" files - just in case <g>).

  • The order of Hidden text in a TOC

    I have set up a TOC for a document. Some of the TOC are questions and answers, the Para style for both questions and answers being brought into the TOC automatically. Some of the questions are extremely long so I'm creating hidden text on another layer and shortening the hidden layer questions to 'Question X' and these are also coming into the TOC now.
    However I'm having trouble on one particular page where there is a Question and an answer and I cannot get the (hidden) Question to appear in the TOC before the answer - it keeps on appearing after the answer. I've tried having the hidden layer, containing the hidden question, as the top layer, bottom layer, varying the position of the hidden text on the page (top/bottom) and updating the TOC, but it keeps appearing after the answer! Infuriating.
    What governs the inclusion position of TOC elements that all physically appear on the same layout page?
    Anyone with any ideas to help me out, or a 'work-around'?

    I am wondering if you ever got an answer to this as I have the same problem.

  • Editing hidden text in pdf?

    Scanning 19th-century and early 20th-century documents as TIFFs, creating PDF using the original images as pages. OCR can't recognize the text well, so the hidden text needs extensive editing. Using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional on Windows 2000 Professional.
    Can see the hidden text using Examine Document; can only edit using the Text TouchUp Tool on the page, where the hidden text is not visible.
    * Is there any way to see both the hidden text and the page at the same time?
    * Is there a better way to edit the text?
    * Is there any way to import text to use in the hidden text?
    * Is there any way to apply hidden text to an image where none was created in the OCR conversion?

    The answer to most (maybe all) of your questions is probably to use 'proper' OCR software like Abbyyy Finereader or ReadIris. Trial downloads are available from their web pages. Output can be in the same pdf format that you need.

  • Hidden Text in PDF file generated from Ai

    One of my clients (an Ad Agency) has a problem with a PDF file.
    They make the layout in Adobe Illustrator them (to send the file to the newspaper) use the "Save as" menu and use the prepress setting.
    The designer use "Helvetica Neue" the TrueType that came with MacOSX.
    But for a weird reason one letter in the headline dissappear... this one>>>> "É"
    When I check the file in Acrobat 9 and X reports a "Hidden Text".
    Any idea what happen there???
    Thanks a lot

    "Save as PDF" occasionally writes internal links as external links (pointing to a file with the current PDF file name). Such links won't work after the PDF is renamed, even if the PDF is a stand-alone PDF.
    Try printing the book to a .ps file and distilling, instead of "Save as PDF".

  • PDFs with hidden text readable in reader, but not acrobat?

    For some reason, when I scan documents into adobe acrobat the entire document is unreadable -- its all hidden text.  However, when I open the same scanned document in adobe reader the text is perfectly readable.  I have been receiving numerous pdfs from colleagues which have the same problem - i open them in acrobat, the text is hidden and unreadable, in reader its fine.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  I've been able to play with the scanner settings and have managed to create pdfs without hidden text from the scanner.  The true problem is that I have to print many of the PDFs i recieve -- many of them are quite large. When printing from reader, it takes at least 5 minutes per page.  Any help/suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thanks

    (I'm using the latest version of Acrobat, 9)

    It would help to look at a sample. Can you post one?

  • Finding 'hidden' text/font

    I have a PDF form created in Indesign and the fields added with Acrobat 9 Pro.  When I open the form and click on the first field I get an error message come up:
    "The font "HelveticaNeue" contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display."
    I have checked all the fonts in InDesign and I have not used this font, plus all the fields created in the form are also not using this font.  How do I find if there is any hidden text anywhere using this font?  I have run the preflight on both Indesign and Acrobat and neither have this font listed???
    Many thanks

  • How can I import a .doc (MS Word) with "hidden text" to a new Pages document?

    Without changing the specific text in .doc to non-hidden, nothing but empty line returns comes across.
    I have several .doc files and I am trying to streamline a process.

    There is no hidden text in Pages and if Apple implemented it chances are it would not be the same as Microsoft's.
    There quite a few variations between Pages and MsWord so transferring documents between them is a hit and miss at the best of times.

  • Can InDesign handle "hidden" text boxes?

    I've been tasked with creating a Userguide Lab Manual with student exercises.  The client wants content to be in three layers:  1) basic tasks listed, 2) accessible "hints" to complete tasks, 3) accessible step-by-step explanation to complete tasks.  Levels 2 & 3 should be initially "hidden" text boxes that the student can access  if needed.
    Can InDesign handle this?  I realize this is something HTML can handle ... but the client wants a e-PUB document, something portable, in the end.
    Can you give me advice?  I've looked and looked at many elements of InDesign.  Often I see "hidden" elements must be converted to an image (button?); elements of Interactivity usually means video or animation... but I want editable text.  In theory, we want to be able to develop ONE master, and then reveal (show) different layers ... and i the end publish three levels of Userguide Lab Manual.
    Is this possible?

    hidden text at bottom of page, how can I fix formatting?

    You don't give much information so I'm going to guess you're using a text box, perhaps in a layout document. Click on the little empty blue box on the lower right side, then click where you want the text to continue.

    Are you looking to make a book or .fm file conditional, or trying to conditionalize content in a FrameMaker file?
    books and chapters can't be conditional, but if you just want content within a Fm file to be conditional, highlight the text, and use the Ctrl+4 key to bring up the SmartInsert for conditional text. Select the condition you want, and you're done.
